Trancendance Invades Synaptic Sandwich
Saturday Night Trance

When DJ Cyber asked me to fill in for him this week I was only too happy to jump at another chance to play loud trance this weekend. Synaptic Sandwich has been on-air even longer than Trancendance, filling the 9-11pm (PST) Saturday Night time slot on CiTR 101.9fm.

Tonight’s show got started about a half hour early at about 8:30 with some of Christopher Lawrence’s live set from Burning Man 2007. DJ Quake brought us across the 9 o’clock hour getting us warmed up for my live mix.

Inner Space
Thumpin Deep Trance Mix

I wasn’t sure what I was going to play this week until I was on my way to the studio – and then it all started to come together. This mix is still a work in progress, but I think it’s getting closer and closer to a polished deep trance set. I would love to hear some feedback on parts I should keep and parts I should rework.

Love Parade Mix
A Moment of Psy-lence for the 2010 Love Parade Tragedy

This week’s show is dedicated to the friends and families of the 19 people who were trampled to death at the 2010 Love Parade in Germany.

Is it possible to to be deep and fullon at the same time? I tend to think of them as somewhat opposite, but this week’s show really seems to bridge the gap. Two new tracks worth mentioning are Black Jack by Mekkanikka and Nu Metro by Broken Toy.

I couldn’t get the second half of the Simon Qudos guest mix working, so the second half of the show features a BBC essential mix by Christopher Lawrence from 2004. Watch for the second half of my Simon Qudos guest mix in the coming weeks!

The Untitled Trance Podcast

I’m listening to the first third of this weeks podcast right now and watching Metrotown pass by while I ride the train through the blue sky on my way back from another busy day that started off with three hours of dentistry this morning. So now you get why this week’s show is untitled. I could have called it the Froster.ca launch show, but that seemed a little too corporate. Yeah – I do have a day job, and this week I was right in the middle of it during the show. How is that possible, given that the show airs from 10pm – Midnight in my timezone? Well, let’s just say I’m a dedicated employee that is lucky enough to work with some pretty dedicated people.

Alright, so none of that really has to do with anything musical. What’s on the decks this week? I’m still well into my PsyTrance kick. Steve played some of the wonkiest, most twisted trance I’ve ever heard (sorry, I wasn’t able to capture the track list), and Caddyshack dropped a fine mix of old-made-new epic trance.
